Ramon and his bandit gang are also after the treasure and have either killed or taken hostage all the me from the village leaving only the women and children to hand over the hidden money or they will face “Deguello” (an attack with no mercy). The four men decide to protect the the town from Ramon and his bandits while they look for the treasure.

  1. According to my reference books, this one was never released in France, so there's no French title.
    A nifty noir Western, in the Vari manner. Low budget, but good actors (kudos to Dan Varis, who's awesome) and a nice script.

  2. French title removed. I agree with your accessment of the film. Vadis is the main reason to see the film. He displays quite a bit of athleticism and is quite good as the villain. His death scene is most memorable.
